Definitions

  • a variety of production fluids are pumped from subterranean environments. Different types of submersible pumping systems may be disposed in production fluid deposits at subterranean locations to pump the desired fluids to the surface of the earth.
  • Production fluids e.g. petroleum
  • Fluids contained in the formation collect in the wellbore and are raised by the submersible pumping system to a collection point at or above the surface of the earth.
  • a typical submersible pumping system comprises several components, such as a submersible electric motor that supplies energy to a submersible pump.
  • the system further may comprise a variety of additional components, such as a connector used to connect the submersible pumping system to a deployment system.
  • Conventional deployment systems include production tubing, cable and coiled tubing. Additionally, power is supplied to the submersible electric motor via a power cable that runs through or along the deployment system.
  • the subterranean environment (specifically the well fluid) and fluids that are injected from the surface into the wellbore (such as acid treatments) contain corrosive compounds that may include carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and brine water.
  • corrosive agents can be detrimental to components of the submersible pumping system, particularly to internal electric motor components, such as copper windings and bronze bearings.
  • the fluid can degrade the dielectric properties of the motor oil and the insulating materials of the motor components. Accordingly, it is highly desirable to keep these external fluids out of the internal motor fluid and components of the motor.
  • Submersible electric motors are difficult to protect from corrosive agents and external fluids because of their design requirements that allow use in the subterranean environment.
  • a typical submersible motor is internally filled with a fluid, such as a dielectric oil, that facilitates cooling and lubrication of the motor during operation.
  • a fluid such as a dielectric oil
  • heat is generated, which, in turn, heats the internal motor fluid causing expansion of the oil.
  • the motor cools and the motor fluid contracts when the submersible pumping system is not being used.
  • submersible electric motors are subject to considerable temperature variations due to the subterranean environment, injected fluids, and other internal and external factors. These temperature variations may cause undesirable fluid expansion and contraction and damage to the motor components.
  • the high temperatures common to subterranean environments may cause the motor fluid to expand excessively and cause leakage and other mechanical damage to the motor components.
  • These high temperatures also may destroy or weaken the seals, insulating materials, and other components of the submersible pumping system.
  • undesirable fluid expansion and motor damage can also result from the injection of high-temperature fluids, such as steam, into the submersible pumping system.
  • this type of submersible motor benefits from a motor fluid expansion system able to accommodate the expanding and contracting motor fluid.
  • the internal pressure of the motor must be allowed to equalize or at least substantially equalize with the surrounding pressure found within the wellbore. As a result, it becomes difficult to prevent the ingress of external fluids into the motor fluid and internal motor components.
  • a first type is a labyrinth type protector that uses the differences in the specific gravity of the well fluid and the motor fluid (e.g., oil) to separate the fluids.
  • a typical labyrinth may embody a chamber having a first passageway to the motor fluid and a second passageway to an undesirable fluid, such as the fluid in the wellbore.
  • the first and second passageways are generally oriented on opposite sides of the chamber to maintain fluid separation in a vertical orientation.
  • a second type is a piston type protector that moves axially in relation to the other components to adjust to a changing volume of the motor fluid.
  • a third type is a bellows or bag type protector, wherein the bellow or bag may be formed of metal or an elastomeric material.
  • the bellows type protectors provide two important functions: equalizing the fluid pressure within the motor and preventing well fluids (e.g., liquids and gases) from contaminating the motor fluid.
  • a motor protector comprises a housing defining a compensator chamber; a compensator disposed in the housing having a motor fluid end in fluid communication with a motor fluid and a well fluid end, the compensator axially moveable relative to the housing in response to the expansion and contraction of the motor fluid; and a port formed through the housing to provide fluid communication from exterior of the housing to the well fluid end of the compensator.
  • the compensator may be one selected from the group of a bellows and a plunger.
  • a submersible pump system comprises a pump disposed in a wellbore containing a wellbore fluid; a motor disposed in the wellbore, the motor comprising a motor fluid; and a motor protector disposed in the wellbore, the motor protector comprising a housing defining a compensator chamber; a port formed radially through the housing; and a bellows disposed in the housing, the bellows comprising an interior in fluid communication with the motor fluid and a well fluid end in fluid communication with the wellbore fluid via the port, the bellows axially expandable relative to the housing in response to the expansion and contraction of the motor fluid.
  • a submersible pump system comprises a pump disposed in a wellbore containing a wellbore fluid; a motor disposed in the wellbore, the motor comprising a motor fluid; and a motor protector disposed in the wellbore, the motor protector comprising: a plurality of axially extending, spaced apart elongate members defining a bellows chamber; and a bellows position in the bellows chamber, the bellows comprising an interior in fluid communication with the motor fluid and a well fluid end in fluid communication with the wellbore fluid through channels between the adjacent spaced apart elongate members.

  • the terms “up” and “down”; “upper” and “lower”; “top” and “bottom”; and other like terms indicating relative positions to a given point or element are utilized to more clearly describe some elements. Commonly, these terms relate to a reference point as the surface from which drilling operations are initiated as being the top point and the total depth of the well being the lowest point, wherein the well (e.g., wellbore, borehole) is vertical, horizontal or slanted relative to the surface.
  • fluidically coupled or “fluidically connected” and similar terms, may be used to describe bodies that are connected in such a way that fluid pressure (e.g., hydraulic, pneumatic) may be transmitted between and among the connected items.
